Abstract | FISHBASE is a computerized encyclopedia on the fishes of the world, presently developed at ICLARM, in cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and numerous other institutions throughout the world. It is shown that the flexible structure of FISHBASE can accommodate both recent and ancient ethno-ichthyological information, i.e. "indigenous knowledge", not generally considered part of ichthyology. Readers are invited to cooperate with the FISHBASE project, and help turn this relational database into the world's database on indigenous knowledge of fish. (author) |
